Peregrine - 50

I'm on holidays at the moment, so I had the chance to get stuck into the Y2K Peregrine: here's the first wip photos.

Because I'm a bit weird, I thought I'd post some progress shots each time I put together fifty parts. Yes it's strange, it's a bit obsessive, but you're talking to someone who just bought a thousand piece kit! So, here it is at fifty. Photos are a little rushed and blurry, sorry.

At the moment, it's a floor with the rear engine compartments and front and back hatches.

Front cargo hatch.

Rear hatch.

You can see how long it is.

A good chunk of the first fifty parts were these little pads for the doors! The'd all be moulded on in a plastic kit, but where's the fun in that?

Yes, please do! I'm always interested to see other people doing the same stuff that I'm doing: fascinating to see the different ideas others have. Looking at your blog, where in Queensland are you? I'm on the northside of Brisbane.

Just outside of Rockhampton myself, which is just far enough North that I don't make it to Brisbane as much as I'd like. Job makes it hard to get away (although it does pay for this stuff), but I have some friends on the Northside. Sounds like a good place for hobbyists and gamers.
